PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS


Hi 

I,m thinking of buying a Prima Luna amplifier but worried re reliability, and what you do in the UK if you have problems.

Would like to hear what owners think about reliability, tube changes , tube upgrades, potential problems,
And what happened if you had problems re after sales repair and support.



i,m going to use them with Proac D20 r floorstanders .

 Thanks in advance for your help

I do not have Primaluna but I do have a Cayin,made in the same factory by the exact same technicians that build the P.L. stuff.Build quality if off the charts,automotive grade lacquer finish,Japanese Steel for transformers and only the best electronic components just as in the P.L.I have no doubt with regular tube changes it will last a lifetime...P.L has a solid reputation,email them about UK support.Make sure your dealer runs the amp in a day or two  as most likely any problems will occur out of box..Ease of use is a P.L. strongpoint and I’m sure some KT120’s or 150’s will make those speakers sing.Oh and one more thing.If your new to tubes be prepared to have everything you thought you knew turned upside down.
Thanks that’s a great detailed reply, I,m going to contact uk dealers and ask about support. 
I just imagined a nightmare scenario of a 65 pound amp being sent to the Netherlands!
At owners cost !
Blown away I know what you mean I have been listening to a Rogue chronos magnum, and the Proac D20rs moon cd and Van den hul interconnects!
This sounds better than anything so far , better than ordinary systems cost £ 0000,s , better than solid State amplifiers,
musical notes delivered by a fairy onto a velvet duvet !

FWIW I have owned both the PL integrateds and the Cayin integrateds. I found that the PL's (with the tubes I used at least) were warmer than the Cayins which was a good thing. I also found the PL's far more reliable than the Cayins. I still have versions of each in the house and I use the PL's. I've had them for about 5 years with no issues at all. Heavy use.

Service for them in GB is unknown to me. I'm amazed that it cost so much to just send over the channel. :-(
